To follow up on my previous post, there is a song called "Cortez the Killer" details can be found here. Some of the details of this sound was listed on the site with a quote:
Peace is a theme of this song. From verse six: "But they built up with their bare hands, what we still can’t do today" indicates that even in the most barbarian times there was still peace, and in present day, as sophisticated as it may be, there is anything but peace. The Aztecs were peaceful, representing sort of a utopian nonviolent society. Cortez and the Spanish brigade used trickery to beat the Aztecs, people who had never committed any offensive acts towards the Spanish. The Spanish could represent the status quo society, completely antonymic from the amicable Aztecs.
Wikipedia has a lot of entries on this topic, the song is apparently still banned in Spain where Cortez is a National Hero for being a killer, interesting how History judges the Victors….

Well documented that the Aztecs were a bloody society with human sacrifice the norm, and that neighboring peoples hated their violent ways so much that they helped the Spanish when they attacked the Aztecs. More bogus revisionist history painting the white man as the savage when both societies were equally barbarous.
